Like most sports anime, Bakuten!! starts with protagonist Shotaro Futaba being in a club he feels he shouldn’t be in, being just a benchwarmer for his baseball team. After witnessing a group of high school gymnasts perform, Shotaro decides to watch a performance at a tournament, after which, he chooses that as the high school he wants to join and get involved in the sport without any prior experience. Joining the club alongside Shotaro is Ryouta Misato, a prodigy who won second place in a junior tournament.
This concept is not new to sports anime, a beginner being captivated by a less popular sport and deciding to participate. What sets Bakuten!! apart from other sports anime and makes it similar to Re-Main is the character development. The club members attempt to overcome different hurdles, such as the Ao High’s ace, Misato. Misato acts cold and distant towards his club mates, shoulders things alone to not burden others. Shotaro advises Misato to act cute with his senpais, allowing a bit of vulnerability and reminding him that his teammates are always there for him.
The character development gives Bakuten!! a stand out aspect, making the show not only about their performances within the sport of gymnastics but the depth of their character development.
